The News Roundup:

-Cliff Bleszinski's departure from Epic Games is (briefly) highlighted, as are the early critical returns from this gigantic week of Tripe-A releases. CC: XCOM: Enemy Unknown & Dishonored.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star will be available for European 3DS owners on December 7, according to Nintendo of Europe president Satoru Shibata.

The December release date, announced at today's Nintendo Direct presentation, confirms that Sticker Star will be on shelves across the pond just a month after its US release on November 11.

New footage of the game was unveiled at the presentation, which featured Mario collecting stickers and solving puzzles. We also get to see Bowser show up and ruin the Sticker Festival by kidnapping Princess Peach.

Here’s another look at the trailer to hold you over until November 11.

Nintendo recently unveiled the 3DS eShop lineup for the rest of 2012 and it's full of goodies.

eShop veterans will be happy to see a November 22 release date for Crashmo, the sequel to 2011’s Pushmo. Pushmo was a huge hit amongst critics and gamers and the sequel is a pleasant surprise.

The list of original releases also includes three games from LEVEL-5. If you’re unfamiliar, LEVEL-5 is an independent developer and publisher comprised of some amazing talent. The group includes producers of No More Heroes, Killer 7, Vagrant Story, and some other great games.

A gaming blogger recently shared a very personal story about the role video games have played in his daughter’s experience with Tourette’s Syndrome.

Mike Schiller’s daughter does not have the kind of Tourette’s that film and television have exposed most of us to. Her tics don’t manifest themselves as profane outbursts, but instead as painful fits of coughing, neck stretching, head bobbing, and a few others.

The persistent coughing is what led Schiller to seek out help at the emergency room. When the doctor asked if his daughter ever experienced relief, Schiller explained that the coughing would stop for up to twenty minutes at a time when she played her DS. Anytime she booted up Planet Puzzle League, she would get a break from the coughing.
